ANTARA's article is stamped Friday 30 October 2026 and says the first arrest was made "pada Rabu (28/10) malam", on the evening of Wednesday 28 October. The article does not say when the coop was found, only that police then "melakukan pengembangan" (followed up). The item uses 28 October.

Quantities

The article's lead says "sekitar 18 kilogram". The total is built from three finds: "dua ons ganja kering" (about 200 grams) from the first man, "satu kilogram ganja kering" from the second, and "17 kilogram ganja" in the coop. The article puts the total at "sekitar 18,2 kilogram".

Attribution
